I looked up the vin on this truck, it's a 1968 f250 2wd, v8 360. My grandfather was in the process of putting a new engine in it before he got in real bad shape and passed years ago, so now it's just a new engine going to hell. He stored it right, he put a piece of plastic on top of the carb so nothing goes down it, I don't think there's any fluids in it...i sadly know little about engines. Same with the Scrambler; it's the straight 6 with the 4speed manual. 4x4. It's got a lot of wiring problems, needs a carb, fuel lines/fuel tank replaced, brakes done, exhaust to get it back on the road. Simple stuff to a true mechanic, but high level stuff to me. Eventually when I have the know-how to start on it, my grandmother wants to drive it one last time before she passes so that's my goal. She's had people work on it in the past, but all they did was let it sit for a while, take her money, and say "it's unfixable" one guy even stole stuff out of the bed! Sorry for the long post, just got kinda sentimental lol
